Mood Board 2

Here are some film posters we might use for inspiration for our poster:


(The Hand That Rocked The Cradle)...We like the contrasting use of black and white with colour, creating a juxtaposition which draws attention to the picture in the middle. It is eerie without being gory or too obvious.
(Blair Witch Project)...We like the simplicity of this poster, it uses the imagery of scary woods and part of the face, which creates enigma code and attracts the viewers' attention, making them want to know more.
(Panic Room)...We like the woman's face in the foreground, attracting the attention, then the use of the background man in shadow which is intimidating, even though it's behind.

Mood Board 1

Here are some trailers from stalker film from which we might take inspiration:

(Cape Fear, Universal, 1991)


(One Hour Photo, Fox Searchlight Pictures, 2002)


(Paparazzi, Twentieth Century Fox, 2004)

Shooting Times

Having begun to storyboard our ideas, we have decided to shoot some of our footage in the day and some of it in night. However, as the practicalities of this would be difficult, we have decided to use an effect called 'day to night' which will transform our shots so they look like they've been filmed at night without all the negative aspects that come with it (e.g. worse quality shots, less clarity etc.). We will do this in post production, after all the rest of our footage has been completely edited, so save us having to render the sequence after each change we make.

We will now begin uploading our influences in way of a mood board.

Initial Ideas

After brainstorming various ideas for genres of film (e.g. horror, thriller, comedy, epic disaster, drama etc), we have decided that the easiest for the time restrictions, practicality and location that we have will be thriller.
We have allocated our roles, which are:
Billy - Filming, Producer, Acting.
Andrew - Filming, Storyboard.
Louise - Poster, Acting, Marketing.
Keira - Editing, Storyboard.
Junique - Poster, Filming.

We will all take part in the mood board and funding ideas as we feel these will be best achieved by a group effort, we will also all help with editing as this is an integral part of the production.

The general idea is for a stalker thriller, but we will challenge the conventions by our film (were it to be actually made) discussing the stereotypes we apply and how they can affect convictions and judgments in every day life. Due to this, our film would not aim to make the viewers associate and sympathise with only the victim, but to also see the suspects' side of the case.
Therefore, our possible 'taglines' in the trailer are 'who will you believe?' and 'guilty?'.

We are now going to walk around the area to look for possible places to film and start to frame some of our shots so we can include them in our storyboard.
Later, we will start to upload images and videos to contribute to our moodboard to show what has given us some ideas.

woodland and drive - filming girl walking in to her house (stalker watching her).
Cadogan House - Girls house
Bedroom - reflection of girl in the window

Sports equipment container - Girls looking up as stalker looks down on her (silhouette of stalker).
Trees and outdoor greenery - to give an eerie affect
